Tracy O'Rourke - CEO - Vivid Edge

At Vivid Edge we're helping solve climate change through energy efficiency. We help large organisations do more for climate change with our 'energy efficiency as a service' model. The idea is simple. Behind it lies a pioneering risk model built on our risk and energy efficiency expertise.
We provide capital for energy efficient equipment and ongoing maintenance (heating, cooling, lighting, control systems).
Our customers obtain cutting edge equipment, greater energy efficiency, increased operational resilience and reduced emissions. Furthermore our customers simply pay a monthly service fee that is often lower than the immediate energy savings.

Transform your approach to implementing energy efficiency projects through working with us.

Our leadership team has a track record in executing large global transactions in multinational organisations and has numerous qualifications and awards in energy efficiency. We have facilities, operations, finance and commercial executive level line management experience in multinational organisations.
